Mouro Capital

Why did we invest in xFarm Technologies? Because they’re solving problems that matter. 🌱🚜 At Mouro Capital, we believe in the transformative power of fintech, especially when it’s seamlessly embedded into industries that impact our daily lives. xFarm, led by Matteo Vanotti and his exceptional team, exemplifies this by bringing fintech innovation to one of the most underserved sectors: #Agriculture. Despite employing 27% of the world’s workforce, agriculture has been left behind in the tech revolution. xFarm addresses this gap with a farm management app that combines #IoT, smart data capture and financial services tailored to farmers' needs. More than just a tech solution, xFarm bridges the worlds of #AgTech and #FinTech, offering tools that help farmers manage their operations while addressing their unique financial challenges. Matteo’s personal and family history in farming give the team a perspective few can match. Learn more about why we backed xFarm Technologies on our website. #Sustainability #ESG #VC

🚀 Revolut has just secured its long-awaited UK banking license, marking a significant milestone in its journey towards becoming a full-fledged bank. With this new license, Revolut is set to enhance its product offerings, including lending products like credit cards and mortgages, bringing more value to its customers. The process involves extensive documentation, compliance with financial regulations, proof of financial stability, and a robust risk management framework. #Fintech companies may face hurdles in meeting the capital requirements, governance standards, and demonstrating a sustainable business model that aligns with traditional banking regulations. Additionally, as we saw in this case, the application process is lengthy and can take a few years of continuous dialogue with regulators. For those interested in the broader journey and implications of obtaining a #BankingLicense, we previously wrote an in-depth article discussing this complex process and what it means for fintech companies. The landscape is evolving rapidly, and it's fascinating to see how companies like Revolut are navigating these waters. At Mouro Capital, we are fintech specialists and have helped many of our companies navigate regulatory licensing, whether for company build-up or international expansion.
